How to show your talent?

Showing your talent is probably one of the hardest things to do in the realm called office. It's either of the two things:

1. You have the talent but it's always overshadowed by
2. Non-talented that has a good talent in yanking, whining, dramatizing, and kissing asses.

And you will notice on performance evaluation that you have been degraded to become the most useless individual to have been ever employed in your realm called office. The people in number 2 is actually good at the following:

1. Timing
2. And Perseverance to write the "last laugh" emails making that person smarter than you are.

The next thing you'll know, the person has already taken over your position, or could have bragged about what you've done and what another teammate from another cubicle in a "generalized" way, but centralizing all the achievements to himself. Most likely, you'll just receive some 50 pats at the back, while he receives a higher salary, a good administrative (because he is useless) position, or a leadership position because he is just too better than you did.

I'm sure the reason you reached up to this is because you are talent #1 above, and you are so frustrated why #2 has taken over you. And if you're #2, you will feel that you are #1, but you are doing the next section's #1 and #2 to become #1.

So how do you become successful? There's only one genuine thing that is effective. Surround yourselves with #3 - dead people. That will surely make you always #1.
